During the seminar we will attempt to define the concept of intangible assets, which today is much broader than patents or copyrights. According to eminent figures in the world of economics and management practitioners, understanding this issue may be the key to an adequate assessment of the company’s condition, its resources and potential, and – most importantly – to its further development.

In the discussion on intangible assets in business, m.in will take the floor. Prof. Ph.D. Jerzy Hausner – initiator of the Open Eyes Economy and the concept of the

The event is part of the preparations for the second edition of the international congress of the Economy of Values – Open Eyes Economy Summit 2017, which will take place on 14-15 November 2017 at ICE Kraków.

We cordially invite you to an expert seminar entitled: “Landscape Resolution. Between legal regulation and local government practice”, which will take place on 31 March, from 11.00 a.m. to 4.30 p.m., in Olivia Sky Club (Olivia Tower building, 12th floor). The organizers of the event – the Metropolitan Institute and the University of Gdansk, Olivia Business Centre is a partner of the seminar.

The landscape resolution – a new tool in Polish law for the municipality to regulate the location of advertisements, street furniture and fences – still poses many problems. Not only is it difficult to prepare, but it also raises legal doubts, for example as to the procedure of enactment or the scope of interference with property rights. Therefore, the Metropolitan Institute and the University of Gdańsk decided to organize a seminar aimed at dispelling the indicated doubts and indicating practices worthy of imitation. And so, on 31 March, both practitioners: architects, urban planners, urban artists, officials, as well as theoreticians: lawyers and academics will meet in Olivia Tower in Gdańsk to discuss the key issues related to the landscape resolution. The event was divided into two expert panels. The first one, which is practical, will focus on the presentation of selected landscape resolutions, while the second one will focus on more theoretical issues, i.e. the structure and legal effects of this resolution – says Dominik Wilk, coordinator of the seminar. – The formula of the event is to combine two perspectives on the issue of a new instrument in Polish law, i.e. landscape resolution: practical and theoretical. Everyone: both practitioners and educators interested in the subject will find something for themselves. In addition, panelists will come from all over the country, which increases the range of perspectives presented – adds Jakub H. Szlachetko, PhD, Chairman of the Council of the Metropolitan Institute.

Seminar program

The Metropolitan Institute is an expert organization (think tank) integrating representatives of various scientific disciplines (law, administration, urban planning), as well as professions (lawyers, officials) and passions (social activists, volunteers). The mission of the Institute is to provide expert advice that is capable of independently conducting interdisciplinary research work, creating public discourse, as well as close cooperation with public authorities.

We could see that the main driving forces that allow us to overcome obstacles in life and conquer various peaks (including the highest mountain peaks around the world!) are: passion, faith and the strength of relationships with other people during the event that took place yesterday in the O4 coworking space. About hope, the fight with oneself, the power of conversation and cooperation during the evening at OBC entitled. “Dare to know. How to reach the top in life despite obstacles – Meeting on oncological awareness” Kasia Gulczyńska and Dorota Grabowska told the story.

The life story of the main protagonist of the meeting, Kasia Gulczyńska – a mountaineer, president of the Beat Cancer Foundation working for people with cancer, winner of the Businesswoman of the Year 2015 award in the category of Activity for Women – may constitute material for a multi-volume book. And it will certainly be a source of inspiration for many people who suddenly find out that they will have to fight for life, fight cancer. Her great determination to support the sick has allowed her to create many projects that activate people and give them a chance to return to health, to overcome their own limitations, which often block us in spiritual development or, also in sports. Thanks to the cooperation with the most famous Polish mountaineers, including m.in. Adam Bielecki (mountaineer, mountaineer, Himalayan climber, first winter conqueror of eight-thousanders Gasherbrum I and Broad Peak and conqueror of K2 and Makalu), as well as Czesław Lang (track and road cyclist, Olympic vice-champion and two-time medalist of the road world championships) – manage to give strong support to the Foundation’s charges.

Dorota Grabowska, psychologist, psycho-oncologist, coordinator of the PTPO Oncology Hotline at the Provincial Oncology Centre, lecturer, talked about where to go for help, how to deal with such information, who can give us the support we need at this time.

The most important goal of this meeting is to create our awareness that it is worth taking care of our own health, that it is worth and necessary, despite fear, to support everyone who will have to fight such a great fight, the fight for health, the fight against social rejection, the fight for hope.

IT’S ALWAYS WORTH IT.
